The island's shore is mostly (all but west side of the island), relatively flat with beaches and plains to the base of the mountains on the island. These steep mountains are visible from most of the northern Wasatch Front, reaching a maximum elevation of 6,596 ft (2,010 m), which is about 2,500 feet above the level of the lake.
